Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 6 drops red gel food coloring
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally.
Add the mini marshmallows to the pot and stir continuously until melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the peppermint extract and red gel food coloring, ensuring the color is evenly distributed.
Fold in the crispy rice cereal, gently mixing until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a buttered spatula or clean, greased hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish.
Sprinkle the top with holiday sprinkles, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.
Allow the Kris Kringle Krispies to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Cut into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
